Abraham Lincoln
Image
Never stir up litigation, a worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this, who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereon to stir up strife, and put money in his pocket?
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Gen. Schurz thinks I was a little cross in my late note to you. If I was, I ask pardon. If I do get up a little temper I have no sufficient time to keep it up.

The Almighty has His own purposes.

In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak, and as strong as silly and as wise asbad and good.
